Dereck Johnson, of Plainfield, N.H., adds maple sap to a boiling pot of sap at his home in Plainfield on Feb. 28, 2018. In a given year Johnson can make four gallons of maple syrup from the five maple trees on his property. "Every once in awhile you have to express gratitude from the tree for giving up its blood as well as forgiveness for doing this," Johnson said after collecting all five buckets at the end of the night.
